Those with large earbud collections, how are you storing them? I really need to come up with a better method, something that can handle at least 60 or so earbuds.

So yeah, what's the difference between the "old" and the "new" 32Ohm?

From a FAAEAL message: Please kindly note all the driver of 32ohms old version and the new version is different, and the outstanding of tuning for old version is on the analysis, the new version is in the bass. For the 64ohms, the driver is the same, but the material of cable is not the same, like silver line upgrade version: the silver line verison is a better upgrade for middle, treble .


Also, there are some sellers purporting to sell 16 ohm faaeal earbuds, faaeal said they don't make those. I asked FAAEAL if they recommended their best bud, uneamped, from a smartphone and they suggested this

But I heard from people bass is better on 32 than 64 so, I dunno.

They usually last longer if you treat them with care. A good rule is - budget stuff for listening when outside and high end earbuds for when you listen more concentrated at home...

That's how I roll cheap earbuds out in the wild and TOTL in controlled conditions - home, library, etc. But there's significant amount of anecdotal information in this thread of earbuds spontaneously going bad – Shozy Cygnus for example. If you consider the physics - a long, strong heavy cord connected to delicate wires soldered to the drivers...the strain relief better be well designed. It reminds me of how the laces of running shoes become untied. For headphones I only use models with removable cables to eliminate a point of failure. For TOTL earbuds maybe removable cables are the way to go. Also I would only buy a TOTL earbud with a usable manufacturer’s warranty.
